C#m D#
As I'm strolling down the block with really nothing on my mind
G#m7 G#m6
Laid back and I'm just thinking of old times
C#m D#
Pop in a Isley Brothers tape and I'm maxing
G#m7 G#m6
Peeping through my side view, checking out my waxing
C#m D#
Hey, I gotta say
G#m7 G#m6
Today's a good day for me to live around the way (ho)
C#m D#
Time to hit the 6-4
G#m7 G#m6
And pump the bass at 'em just to let 'em know
C#m D#
Aaliyah's in the house, so I think you'd better check my flow
G#m7 G#m6
Hello, hello

I check my cellular because my beeper's beeping
G#m7 G#m6
Booty calls are creeping, fellas on the corner peeping
C#m D#
Me (wassup); time to set it off
G#m7 G#m6
And so I pick up my girls and hit the strip just because
C#m D#
Jazz array hey, it's Saturday and
G#m7 G#m6
The sun is blazing, it's so amazing
C#m D#
And if you are a YNP
G#m7 G#m6
And you're rolling with the GGE Congratulations
C#m D#
I know I got the skills to make you trip
G#m7 G#m6
R Kelly's flipping tracks, so grab a hold and don't you slip
C#m D#
The negative young nation that steps to me gets dealt with
G#m7 G#m6
So raise your hands if you're sure
C#m
Are you a young nation?

Well, 6 o' clock rolls around and now I'm stepping
G#m7 G#m6
Stop to get some dressing, to the mall I'm flexing
C#m D#
You know to get them funky croaka-sacks
G#m7 G#m6
Tonight I'm hitting the town, ain't holding nothing back
C#m D#
Hey, well alright
G#m7 G#m6
Tonight is the night
